The Auldridges

Well, it’s March again and that means birthdays, birthdays, birthdays! Between our family and our extended family, March is full of ‘em. And this weekend we are kicking it off!

Caleb turned 3 yesterday, March 3 2006. And Gabe will turn 9 tomorow on March 5 2006. So today is their party and I want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY boys!

I remember 6 years ago when we celebrated Gabe’s 3rd birthday. It was my first time to celebrate a birthday with him, Shari and I wouldn’t be married for another month yet. It was a good time in sunny Tucson with some of his playmates from daycare.

I also remember only 3 years ago on 3/3/3 (March 3 2003) when Caleb was born into our lives. It’s weird remebering watching the Iraq war kick off on television during a middle of the night diaper change and feeding for our little infant.

A lot has changed since each of those events, and the little guys aren’t so little any more. Our youngest isn’t a baby any more and Gabe is showing signs of pre-teen hood being right around the corner. Shari still tears up thinking about how they grow out of babiness.

So anyway, I just want to say I love all of you boys! Happy birthday Gabe and Caleb and I hope we all have a great time partying this afternoon!

Love,
Dad
